M,
I have been meaning to respond to your post about Dr. Matilda Arabella Evans. I love that you will put her picture in your classroom to inspire both you and and your students. Her life story puts things into perspective really quickly.
During my college years, there was a book that came out about African-American female heroes. I can’t remember what the publication was called, but it was a huge coffee-table book with powerful black and white photos. For months, I hauled that bulky thing around in my backpack. It was a constant reminder that I could succeed because I was standing on the shoulders of brave, industrious women.
